TimMayle: Mantis issues with severity set to "feature" are "write only" (meaning practically nobody reads them). As per policy, feature ideas should be posted on the forums, not in Mantis.

Also, I have an announcement. Issue status "Acknowledged" is reserved for issues which are ready to hand off to IV. No more questions need to be answered, no save files need to be attached, it is not questionable whether it should be fixed or not, the description is clear (or the comments are) - it is just ready to be taken as a task by a developer and he'll just dive in the code and resolve it. If someone will spot an issue which is worth acknowledging, you can link it in this thread (just be sure to add "to acknowledge" next to it). Hopefully a few months of doing this will enable an easy bug bash focus selection, so that developer time is maximized on fixing the well described bugs rather than on deciphering vague reports (community can handle the latter).

If there is an important issue that has a horrible description, a good comment can make it acknowledgable.

Not sure if this is something you think should be closed, but a user submitted a suggestion report and then almost immediately after requested for it to be closed. I personally think it can be closed, but if you don't, that's understandable.

This report describes three issues. Seeing that the third one "have prisoners scheduled for release be on the To-Do list" is already implemented, I thought that maybe the other issues are not that important and the author could be asked if this report from alpha-11 should be closed or split up into two separate reports.

Informants and Tunnels (Feature Request): 7579 and 7580 are virtually exact duplicates (with a few minor differences between the two, probably accidental repost by the reporter), which are also essentially duplicates of 6978, although the two duplicates do provide a little more info/are fleshed out more.

Duplicates of 7141 (Top UI missing on Mac): 7586, 7574, 7504, 7335 (some of these may have already been posted here, but they've been around for a bit so just adding them while I'm looking through for current duplicates to be sure).

7573 is incorrectly named "Motherbug" and is essentially a duplicate/related to 5960 (Punishments not working)

6926 is an exact duplicate of 6923 (Feature Request - Gangs; I would argue that both are pretty pointless to have on Mantis, as they are so bare, not to mention the fact that it has already been suggested plenty of times and is likely planned).
